Question of the Week

Have you ever been part of a prank?

I did most of my pranking around Halloween, like putting a dead skunk on the teacher's door steps, ringing the doorbell and watching their reactions, oh, and I threw a chicken down into the girl's locker room one year. It would've been okay except for the diarrhea. Needless to say, I did a lot of cleaning the next day!!! Someone ratted on me... oh well... Chick Julie

What if I was one of a group of ladies who toilet papered someone's house one night? And what if we didn't have any toilet paper so we went around to as many places as we could find to see if toilet paper was easy to steal??? And if it was, we did, and then had 20 rolls or so and did the job. I said "what if"... I didn't say I did it! Chick Jeanette

This is bad, but hysterical. Every year my girlfriends Ann, Vicki and Lisa and I take a trip for a weekend. Last year, it was Phoenix. We sort of like to tip a few and forget that we are mothers of 12 kids. Some of us even do a shot or two. (Just for the story's sake, I never do shots. I drink beer and wine only. I hate hard liquor and I can't do shots.) Lisa decides to bring a tray of shots over to our table. With a panic look on my face I say, "I can't do a shot, really, I can't." Lisa says, "Yes you can, you'll be fine, just drink it, ya wuss." Then she winked at me. I drank it. It was ginger ale. I laughed so hard that I choked and the ginger ale came out my nose. Ann pats me on the back and says, "I know it stinks. Whiskey is a tough shot. Lisa, you know she hates doing those. If you can't finish it, I will." I'm still choking/laughing but managed to finish my shot before Ann got a hold of it. You see, I wasn't laughing because the joke was on me... it was because we were all drinking ginger ale... except for Ann.

We proceeded to have three more shots each. (Three of us having ginger ale, and Ann getting the whiskey.) We played up the horrid smell, the licking of the salt when we were done, and how we were getting a little tipsy. The night continued into the late hours, with three of us feeling absolutely fine but being really entertained by Ann (who now called herself "Cookie"). Cookie was baffled at how the three of us could handle our liquor while all of the sudden her alter ego came out.

We didn't tell Cookie about our little prank until the next day as she nursed a headache. Chick Karin

Gosh, I can't really think of any pranks except our Senior Prank in high school where we stole the horse off our local hay & grain and put it on top of the school. Oh and we did a few other things like tires up the flagpole, filled the outdoor amphitheater with water and put every real estate sign in the area on the front lawn. Hmmm, I don't think the school or the neighborhood thought it was very funny. Chick Cheryl

My greatest achievement was the bonfire escapade. I was president of my high school's athletic association. It was an all-girl Catholic school and we were having homecoming. Well, I had been to enough homecomings to witness it truly as it should be. So, I convinced the nuns that we should have a bonfire the night prior to our homecoming game. They would not allow it on any of the "gardens" (that was their name for anything green), so we had it on the parking lot -- a layer sand, rock, sand and wood.

It was a huge success but around midnight, everyone left, except me, who was in charge. Finally at 2:00 AM Sister Mary Grace called the Town and Country fire department and they put out the remaining embers. The next day, we arrived early to clean up the parking lot (and shove all of the debris down the ravine between our high school and the Highway). Lo and behold, there was a huge hole in the parking lot; the embers evidently melted the parking lot overnight and were not completely out. Even the debris that was pushed off the parking lot was still flammable and the entire ravine caught on fire. The entire Town and Country fire department again had to extinguish the brush fire that was created. That was the last bonfire they ever had. Chick Susie

I was 3 months pregnant with my first child and was having an ultrasound and my husband could not come. I had taken fertility drugs to conceive and told him we were having triplets. He told everybody. anonymous

I use to have season tickets to the St. Louis Blues hockey team. One game I took my very good friend with me who had little to no knowledge of the game. If you watch hockey you know they play music when there is a stop in play. I managed to convince my friend that there was a "special sensor" in the hockey puck that sensed when the puck was on the ice and when it wasn't, and that the "special sensor" allowed the music in the building to be turned on when the puck was not on the ice, (the referee was holding it) and turned off the entire PA music system when the puck was on the ice. I told her that way, no one would miss an announced call. By now the people behind us were laughing, she caught on, and I could finally say I had successfully pranked someone. Tracy
